Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

Yes, to be "caught in the middle" is an idiom that means to be stuck in a problem or in the middle of two different sides of an argument without a way out. In this case, "caught in the middle" is also referring to the next lyric of the song here where she says "life is a maze and love is a riddle". So to be "caught in the middle" in this context is referencing the idea of being stuck in both life and love and not knowing what to do or how to navigate the problem.
